Fined by animal services!

[Kevin Raye]

I received a fine in the mail with the previous owner's name and  attention to my company's name on a rental property I own. The fines were for failure to get 2 dogs their shots and vaccinations, which the tenant still lives in the property.The fines were given before I purchased the property. Nothing came back to my knowledge on the title search. Now I am being hounded to pay these fines. Is this a legit situation or can I fight this?
